Every things that happen in our daily life has it's own myth & fact. Do you even know sometimes myth is the fact as well? But for me, I don't think so. Myth is even popular among people because they think it is true based on their own 'unsure' experience. Thus, it makes people start to believe myth is a fact. But it is not actually. 

Fact is a fact. It can't be changed or manipulated. But myth has been manipulated by people because it is based on their experience & observation without any scientific proof. So, I would like to tell you the myth & fact behind the beauty tips that you probably heard & maybe you did it in your daily life.
